Junior Professorship/Tenure-Track Professorship
As a rule, junior professors and tenure-track professors are appointed civil servants for a fixed term of six years. They can also be employed under a private-law contract for six years. Junior professorships and tenure-track professorships are subjected to a quality-assured interim evaluation and a quality-assured final evaluation to give the professors the feedback on their work.
